Commercial Law Services

Deceptive marketing occurs when a business makes false claims about its products or misleads consumers about prices. Under the Competition Act and provincial Consumer Protection Laws, such practices are strictly prohibited. Competitors can also file complaints if a rival's misleading advertisements cause them financial harm or damage their brand reputation. We assist businesses in reviewing their promotional materials to ensure compliance with marketing regulations, protecting them from "Show Cause" notices and the negative publicity associated with regulatory enforcement actions.

Many international brands operate in Pakistan through local agents. An Agency and Distributorship agreement must clearly define the scope of authority and the grounds for termination. Disputes often arise regarding "Exclusive Rights" or the non-payment of commissions. Under the Contract Act 1872, an agent has a right to "Lien" over the principal's goods if their dues are not cleared. We provide expert advice on terminating a commercial agency and managing the transition to a new distributor while minimizing the risk of "Wrongful Termination" lawsuits and claims for damages.

Commercial insurance provides a safety net against risks like fire, theft, or professional negligence. However, commercial insurance claim disputes are common, especially when insurers cite "exclusion clauses" to deny a payout. Navigating the Insurance Ordinance 2000 requires a deep understanding of the "Utmost Good Faith" principle. Whether you are dealing with a marine insurance claim or a professional indemnity insurance matter, we represent policyholders in negotiations and before the Insurance Tribunal to ensure they receive the full compensation they are entitled to under their policy.

In a breach of contract case, the primary goal is to put the injured party in the position they would have been in if the contract had been performed. This includes the recovery of consequential damages, such as lost profits (Lucrum Cessans). However, the law requires that these losses must be "foreseeable" at the time the contract was signed. Proving loss of business opportunity requires expert financial testimony and a detailed audit of past performance. Our litigators specialize in quantifying commercial damages to ensure that our clients receive a comprehensive financial award that covers both direct losses and lost future earnings.
